This man took an oath to “obey, uphold and maintain the laws of Malaysia” and to execute the powers and duties of his office “honestly and diligently”.
He hasn’t.
He’s shamelessly lied and in recent days, has arrogantly bullied our brave young cyclists who have stepped out to try and make a difference.
And he has demonstrated a seeming determination to undermine the will of the rakyat of Selangor to mobilise and pressure for the repeal of the ISA and the immediate release of all ISA detainees.
The people of Selangor, and every other Malaysian who visits Selangor, deserve better.
Yes, we need protection from this cop.
Can our Sultan help us?
I don’t know, but I think we must try.
By this petition, we seek his royal intervention to :
1. direct the Selangor state government to lodge a complaint with the Police Force Commission in relation to the conduct of CPO Dato Khalid Abu Bakar as hereinstated and, if thought appropriate, to request that the Police Force Commission take such disciplinary measures against the CPO Dato Khalid Abu Bakar as the Police Force Commission thinks fit but, in any event, to transfer CPO Dato Khalid Abu Bakar out of Selangor;and
2) direct the Selangor state government to take all necessary steps to protect the right of the people of Selangor to peaceably assemble without arms.
I apologise at the length of the petition to His Royal Highness, but the team that worked on it felt that we were obliged to appraise His Royal Highness of the fullest possible facts that found our complaint.
The petition, in full, may be accessed HERE.
Like the many other petitions launched through this blog, this petition now belongs to you.
Its success or otherwise, is in your hands.

Yes brother Haris, regarding this petition, now supposing we are successful and this fellow is posted to another state, won’t it be unfair to our other brothers and sisters in that state that he will be posted to? This man may become revengeful and flex more of his nonsensical muscles around. On the other hand, should the petition come to void, his arrogance may become worse thinking and deluding himself that he has the backing of His Royal Highness. Anyway, try, we must, for better or for worst.

We must try to improve the public service espcially the police force which have been in the limelight for the wrong reasons. If it means complaining to our beloved Sultan then it must be done. We know at least he has our interest at heart. It does not matter if previous petitions have not succeeded to improve our plight, we must try until we succeed. Many times it is the last key in the bunch that opens the door. We must change, and by God’s grace, YES we can! Sign the petition today.

its about time something is done to curb this “pariah” cop before he gets use to his inanely action. he is right now kissing asses of the next administration in hope for “windfall” position.
this is the sign of fascism – mahathirism revisited. Looks like cops are buckling up for the next PM a scenario similar to that of tunM.
cops in the part of S. America and esp. Iraq, zimbabwe, behave that way too – initially with intimidation then progresses to kidnapping and killing.

Dear Haris,
Are you even sure that police officers are required to take an oath? Last I heard, doctors don’t take the hippocratic oath anymore.
Do no harm… but we still have cases of doctors endangering patients lives.
Perhaps we should introduce it again, the swearing of oaths. After all, i’ve seen that taking oaths & swearing on holy books is the IN thing now. Who cares about the burden of proof.
And televise the event for everyone to see. The ruling government has shown to us that it prides itself on this fine tradition & I fail to see why can’t the police follow suit.
After all, who would dare swear upon the holy book with an unpure heart. Its a guaranteed ticket for eternal damanation & butt poking. Didn’t anyone watch the south park movie.

Woe betide CPO Kalid Abu Bakar, you don’t deserve the Datoship bestored on you by our belovered DYYM Sultan of Selangor.
We too have our rights and power to put one up or remove one from his arrogant high seat.
Ampun Tuanku, Please remove the Datoship from this Kalid and let him “burn to ashes” as a nobody in perhaps in the state of Kelantan where PAS dominate. Let him try his monkey tricks there and see how the Kelantanise act.

CPO announced during his Bukit Antarabangsa press conference this morning at subang. Anyone care to check if HRH really want CPO to act this way? Will HRH been misled by CPO? Or CPO simply lie again?

If the HRH is currently overseas, for KAA to disclose this information within 24 hours when your.. errr.. OUR petition was published sounds like ‘damage control’ to me.
Now who was it who wrote “if NS trainees were allowed to handle firearms ostensibly with the blessings of the BN government”, why aren’t young minds not allowed to question and/or act against injustice.

Not justifying Selangor CPO Khalid Abu Bakar’s wholly unimpressive performance over the Jerit arrests in Rawang (in particular and his recent poor showing in public relations situations), but the instructions appear to issue from the very top, viz., IGP Musa Hassan. That man is caught in a time warp. After he was bodysnatched in 1998 by Dr M, his soul got snagged in that time zone. For Musa, 8 March 2008 never happened. Or, at least, hasn’t.

Khalid is a pathological liar. He lies through his teeth. He is shameless. A banality of stupidity. A reflection of his servility to Umno. That such a shameless mutt is the head of police in such an important state like Selangor is a measure of Umno’s stupidity. Day in, day out he makes puerile statements which demean his office. He has no credibility.

I was at the road leading to parliament on Thursday to support the Jerit cyclists. It was a shock to me when the traffic police on duty were urging the cars to move and IGNORED the Jerit youths who were in the middle of the road trying to cross. In fact cars that slowed down for them were directed to move instead.
Their safety were ignored and we are talking of child exploitation (Sic).

Does Sultan has any obligation to fix the problem?
—————————————————
Throughout Malaysia, how many Public Servants who have obligations, responsibility to work right are acting wrong with ignorance, negligence or even violation of Laws.
From The Star, the Sultan already expressed he is NEUTRAL. Doesn’t he know Selangor is one of the most corrupted States with a lot of Administrative problems in governmental expenses, land maters, etc.? Doesn’t he knows the problem of PKNS (when a lot of People already know and are suffering?)? Doesn’t he know it is nonsense to have tolls even within many of the Urban areas?
If he wants to act and can act for the People, should he wait for Petitions? Or, has he been answering to Petition?
IN MALAYSIA, IT IS ALWAYS ACTION JUST TO PROVE THAT IT DOESN’T WORK!! Just to show that Power is Bullet Proof even when they are not performing or even with violations of Laws!!

Bro,
Probrally ISA should be reform to give rights to detainees to defend themselves and ISA will still remained but JERIT is nothing more than propraganda just like Hindraft. There are many ways of doing things not just by demonstrasi neither am cycling. Khalid is doing his job If you feel he lying etc why don you lodge a polis report or complianed to the Police Chief or take him to court for lying. Why are you involving the Sultan. If you can get 51% of Malaysia to sign your partition then I must say you are on the right track otherwise your struggle is more on personal basis. Bro, join the PKR and be a candidate or go contest in the coming KT election and bring us your agenda in the Parlimen.

With the “King” Of Selangor now saying that the Sultan instructed him to act against those using children as for political aims, what is the status of the petition? I had signed the petition earlier but if what the “King” is saying is true, I think you should withdraw the petition. We need to look at another solution as we will be barking up the wrong tree to get our griven addressed.

I brought the news concerning CPO claimed instructed by HRH is to alert all of us as it was published in the Chinese version of MalaysiaKini and cannot find the same article in English or BM anywhere else.
However, I signed, no 35, whether HRH will take action against CPO is not my point and it is out of our control. But I do hope, as a Constitutional Monarch responsible for the well-being of his subject in the State will seriously look into the matter.

According to oa above “….he is right now kissing asses of the next administration in hope for “windfall” position”.
If the CPO of Selangor is doing the kissing-ass action, I don’t think it’s going to help him somehow with the next administration.
Nothing here in the given circumstances seems to excuse this CPO’s now-alleged porkies, or even to justify his need to tell any porkies at all.
This CPO may have been over-promoted without reasonable justification as he does not appear to possess the necessary personal strength of character and professional calibre integrity and nous to justify him being an officer and leader in the PDRM. The unprofessional PRDM perhaps, but not the professional PDRM.
Perhaps this lack of character strength and ability to make the optimal or right professional judgement is why he does not seem to appear to understand that S27 of the Police Act, as it is currently legislated, is inconsistent with and tries to override the People’s Constitution, the highest Law in the land, and so is almost certainly ultra vires the original and binding founding social contract intention that was codified in the prime clauses of the original Constitution.
But this CPO too is unfortunately stuck in the same quandary as are all other police personnel now, whether professional or unprofessional, because they have all sworn to “obey, uphold and maintain” the nation’s laws and S27 of the Police Act is unfortunately, a part of the nation’s laws.
It is right to raise awareness through Haris’s petition of the dangerous weakness created in the PDRM by police personnel lying or feeling the need to lie, but at the same time use it as evidence to demand for effective redress to the danger, quandary and potential for low officer morale (especially in the good officers) that S27 creates in the PDRM. Get your parliamentarians to bring a motion to debate this issue in Parliament so that this very asinine S27 is immediately repealed or amended as appropriate.
And again, I take my hat off to Haris for his generous and tireless dedication – a thankless hard slog I am sure – to make things really better for all aaBM.

Here’s an example of someone with the absolute power to issue a warrant of arrest on a Malaysian citizen without checking the facts which ironically is within his own jurisdiction, the PDRM –
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/12/19/nation/2852748&sec=nation
In his own words, KAB clarified “However, I have just been informed about this”.
Waaah! So easy for KAB to say when an upright citizen in Thanarajah has done his duty in making the police report in the first place.
Where’s the professionalism, KAB? Is this how the upper echelons of the PDRM operate? Shoot your mouth first, and then retract? If that’s KAB’s inclination towards his job, then by all means, join the BN political circus.
Stop masquerading as a CPO lah.

Haris,
Elizabeth Wong says:
“At the start of every Exco meeting, the MB would relay to us some pertinent points raised during his weekly tete-a-tete with HRH Sultan of Selangor.
Last Wednesday, the issue of Jerit was brought up. We were informed that HRH was concerned, and advised us if possible, not to involve children.
Not once was the issue of punitive action brought up. There was no laying down ‘the law’ or that there must be punishment etc. From our extremely limited dealings with HRH, the impression given was that he was for reasonableness, not one hell-bent on punishing this or that person.”
So, yes, the CPO twisted the Sultan’s concern.
